Garbage app and product
Overcomplicated useless technology. Got a AXIS M10 camera and tried to setup with the app. App got stuck multiple times during the registration process and email validation. In the end once I successfully accepted pages of terms and multiple logins I got a message the support will be discontinued at end of 2024. Next my new Axis M10 could not connect and it directs me to use a desktop. Save your device space and your wallet. Go with another provider.

Can never see playback
This app is horrible. Playback never works. No support. How can I see my playback???
Incredibly unstable
If I could rate these cameras any less than one star, I would gladly do it. These cameras are extremely unstable, very difficult to set up and quite limited in customer support.
It’s just OK
As I have just read in another review, you CANNOT arrange the camera boxes in the order you want. That should have been the 1st thing the developers thought of and incorporated. Hey developer! Update this atrocity, please.
Slow and drains my iPad Pro batteries
I’m forced to use this as my client uses this older system. The app is fine, but it’s really slow to refresh when changing views. Plus the batteries on my iPad Pro drains so quickly, even when plugged it, it’s draining quicker than charging. And it won’t work on desktop Macs. Not sure if they’re still updating this software, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Horrible
What horrible app, we tried it for our business but is just a waste of money and time , we went with a local company and is amazing .
I would not be recommending this company to any of my business associates.
I would recommend fixing the problem before loosing more business.

Not Connecting to Cameras after IOS update
After completing the latest IOS update on my phone and iPad the app will not connect to cameras any longer.
Requires an internet connection and account login
This application along with the PC program is painful to use and useless for some applications that it would otherwise be perfect for. Specifically, it forces a login to your “MyAxis” account which renders it useless when the camera and client are not internet connected. I needed something for a standalone covert, mobile recorder using the memory slot for storage. This system would NEVER be connected to an internet enabled network. Axis Companion should allow for opting out of connecting it to “MyAxis”. I can’t even conceive of why a company like Axis would do this. It seems very selfish to deliberately cripple and application at the expense of customers just to gather & control information. Sad

Most secure entry level video surveillance app
This is so much more secure than the mega-vulnerable chinese systems commonly used (Swann, rebranded Dahua, etc). Axis M3044 domes with on board SD card storage, plus this app, is a super stable home / small business surveillance system. Many reviews complain about lack of features, but geez this is a FREE APP! If you want features you have to pay.

No manual camera add
As far as I can tell there is no way to manually add cameras. You need to be on the same network via WiFi. First off, for a business that’s not a good practice. Secondly, for my situation, my cameras are only accessible via VPN for configuring and WAN for viewing. Making the entire app pointless. Please allow the ability to manually add your cameras.
